The following table refers to rotation of a rigid body about a fixed axis: 𝐬 is arclength, 𝐫 is the distance from the axis to any point, and 𝐚𝐭 is the tangential acceleration, which is the component of the acceleration that is parallel to the motion. In contrast, the centripetal acceleration, 𝐚𝐜=v2/r=ω2r, is perpendicular to the motion. The component of the force parallel to the motion, or equivalently, perpendicular, to the line connecting the point of application to the axis is 𝐅. The sum is over 𝐣 =1 π­π¨ N particles or points of application.
